Abstract :
Optimal control theory is used to design a second-order linear control system with step response that is, in a certain sense, the best possible. The damping ratio of this optimal system is compared with the value 
of damping ratio that is conventionally assumed to give good performance. For a special class of second-order controlled objects, the optimal system has damping ratio 
.
